I think the Bitshares price bump has something to do with them nearly having their decentralized exchange ready to roll out. Good project check it out if you have the time.

Can you hit me up with a few links? I do not have so much time on my hands to be looking around for them.
Are they going to open source it? If it's good then it can be implemented in a lot of places.
There was always a need for a decentralized exchange even for Bitcoin and Darkcoin obviously.

That's the main BitsharesX forum.

A decentralised exchange is all very well but nobody outside of the existing crypto community gives a flying fuck.

MasterNet on the other hand - a global decentralised unDDOSable VPN and hosting platform with integrated automatic anonymity... there's real money in that.

I'm wondering if this is really true... Pardon me for playing Devil's Advocate...

I'm wondering if DRK does more than people can understand. Single-feature shitcoins are easy to grasp, even if utility is marginal or moot. LTC is still massive, and with absolutely no reason remaining from it's original feature set.

I don't think people can understand waht DRK an MN Services can do for them. They look at it with a deer-in-the-headlights stare having no idea at all why it's needed. Or worse, understanding just barely enough about DRK, but not understanding the evil forces at work in the world, and referring to DRK as a solution in search of a problem.

You're right - this is why I don't care at all about the current price or what anyone in the crypto 'communuty' thinks of it. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. And also why I'm suggesting that Evan reach out to existing suppliers of things like decentralised hosting to offer them a means of improving their existing service to their existing userbase.

Jo Public (and the average crypto trader) doesn't have a clue, but a company that's already pioneering decentralised infrastructure is more likely to, and the appeal of the MN network, with its intrinsic anonymity, should be apparent to them. Give these kinds of people a means of wringing added utility from what we have, and charge them for it. Sod some shitcoin and it's crappy crypto exchange. Sure, we can do that as well, but it's not where the real potential is.

I think we ought to be aiming higher than beating Litecoin in marketcap, much, much higher.

Evan is already ignoring market cap in favor of doing what needs to be done. He's not in it for the money, though he may reap, and deserve, a great reward for his work.

MNs allow DRK to do ALL of the stuff that is just piecemeal in other coins. There are many good ideas out in shitcoin land. But, the problem is that they are just individual ideas propped up on a pump and dump. DRK can combine those ideas instead of just do one thing that isn't at all useful by itself. A decentralized exchange is a good idea. But on it's own, totally useless. It is a shitcoin, but it has a good idea. DRK can take that good idea and put it with other good ideas to actually DO SOMETHING USEFUL.

DRK is for people tuned into reality; there aren't many of these. Mass adoption is not a problem of getting the word out. It's a problem of doing so being a waste of time. This is the root concept of my personal rant blog. It is only productive to sow your seeds on fertile ground; but there is no fertile ground. We sow our seeds in a sandy desert with no nutrients or water. We do this not because we are fools, but because there is nowhere else to sow them...

not in it for the money what a bunch of bull. if he is not in for the money tell Evan to give me his coins
